caravan refurb

First topic message reminder :

Stuff it --got all excited today 15-4-13 and decided to strip and fix the mobile home we all call a caravan..
A young fella from around the corner started today --will call him THE RUNT--out came the power points, lights and even the old fridge have all bitten the dust..the ceiling panels--the whole monty..

Left the runt on the job so decided to find a fridge freezer for the van--size matters in this case--600mm is all I have to play with--just enough to slide it in --between the door frame that is--just incase there are some corrupt people out there..of to Retravision and stuff me dead if they didnt have one , even on special $590..delivered tuesday via a trolley through the shopping centre to the workshop...bargain.

Off to the hardware store in the LIA and brought some fly mess--4 meters for $35.00--

Was goin to buy a engle to use as a freezer but could not justify the $1800.00 for a capacity which would only hold
a side of lamb--and the lamb would have to b a skinny bugger at best. So I reckon the fridge freezer from retraverts was a good buy.

The roof of the van is all steel framed so we also got rid of the foam insulation sheets that were jamed in the cavity--might give that insulation they put in houses up here in the north west a go, but I will double it up--got plenty of room..Its a sandwich type of foam material with silver paper either side--looks the part anyway.

will down load some picks tomorrow and show u the mess--sorry progress..

now we just gotta refloor the van with either lino or square tiles..

we have even put 12v cig holders on the outside of the van for when I get an annex made.

what an exercise -- I don't want to do that again--too many promises and nothing eventuates..

THANKS STEVE. A job well done.
